We have always loved breakdancing, pop locking and the creativity that springs from the inner city, and takes many forms. That made it a special treat to take the mechanism of one of our previous hit products and literally give it a twist — and voila, the new animatronic plush M3 Master Moves Mickey was born! M3 Mickey delights and dances to a funky beat as he combines over 15 different dance moves into his own original dance steps! Dance along side Mickey as he shows off his insane handstand and then pops right into a 360 spin! Dressed to a tee in hip-hop dance gear, Mickey is ready to bust a move and tear up any dance floor! — Fisher-Price

After a few brainstorming sessions, we decided that making our original Tigger bounce in different directions would be a great addition! We weighted Tigger’s head so that when he looked left, the figure would lean left and bounce in that direction. With a head that swings side-to-side, our team added a lot more play value just by deft programming, resulting in a magical end product! Made of soft, cuddly plush, Bounce Bounce Tigger shows off his dance moves in sync with a classic hip-hop hit version of his signature theme song. Just squeeze the foot to start the fun and watch as he "wiggety, wiggety wiggles" on his springy, coiled tail! — Jay at Play

The Flufflings toy line is a great example of the power of collaboration — and the endless possibilities in repurposing and creating a brand around a single mechanism! These adorable Flufflings Jiggle and Dance love to dance and wiggle wildly to the music! Watch these friendly, colorful fur balls slide along the floor and bust-a-move as they dance to the tunes, each to their own unique song! Then watch them jiggle on the spot, chiming in to the music! Three Jiggle and Dance Flufflings in the group to collect and share with friends!— Vivid Imagination

We bring children’s favorite pets to life with these new additions to the Animagic line! Charlie My Cute Kitten loves being stroked, hugged and fed! The more you play with her the more playful she’ll become. Feed her the bottle to hear her slurp, then rub her back to see her pat her paws. Stroke her head and she’ll tilt her head to look up and meow! — Animagic Interactive Pets from Vivid Imaginations

Like Charlie, Dotty loves affection! Feed him the bone to hear him chomp and bark, then rub his back to see him wag his tail! Stroke his head and he’ll raise his ear and tilt his head to look up! — Animagic Interactive Pets from Vivid Imaginations

Girls love ponies. We wanted to give girls their very own pony, and bring it to life! What started out life as a Furby, ended up in the head of a plush pony to bring it to life, and ultimately became our beautiful “Honey, My Baby Pony.” Among the top 10 hottest selling holiday toys, this lifelike pet pony features a range of actions, including munching food, wiggling ears and blinking eyes! And she even sways her head, neighs and snorts when she’s really happy! — Vivid Imaginations

A challenge by Fisher Price to incorporate features of many of our earlier developments into one toy. Impossible? Yes. But we did it anyway! Debuted on Good Morning America and sold more on the first day than any other toy in history, TMX Elmo is an engineering feat. He has three interactive tickle spots that cause him to laugh, slap his leg, fall down and rock himself back up to a standing position — with the laughter getting harder and wilder with each successive tickling. The laughter is contagious! Patented. Voted “Toy of the Year” in 2007 by the Toy Industry Association (TIA) — Fisher-Price

This was a development that sprung (pardon the pun) from an interest in harmonics of springs and other moving objects. With the simple squeeze of his hand, Tigger bounces high in the air on his enormous tail! While he bounces on his “turbo-charged” tail, he excitedly sings his trademark song, “The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers.” Also features crazy bouncing sound effects and fun phrases, too. — Fisher-Price

An exploration into a better walking mechanism yielded a patented design that enables this plush character to walk and run, turn left and right, all with a single motor. Not apparent to most, but a breakthrough in toy walking mechanisms. Baby Pooh can recognize your voice and he walks toward you at different speeds! When he falls down, you have to help him back up! — Fisher-Price

A further exploration of our “teeter-totter mechanism” resulted in a 4-legged character. While never incorporated into the final, somewhat underwhelming execution, our original was capable of many more movements and actions. This Dalmatian puppy prefers wheels to walking and skates all by himself! Strapped into four bright red inline skates, “Blade” skates all around — and even responds when you call to him. — Playmates Toys
